A negative post down almost before they even go up there trying to protect him trying to project but this is election interference in the attempt to rig an election which is what were seeing here by monopolies unprecedented in American History. Around the clock news coming to you live from our t internationals World Headquarters in moscow im donald quarter welcome to the program now our top story french president Emmanuel Macron has confirmed the beheading of a teacher in paris on friday evening was quote and islamised terror attack the suspect was shot dead by police shortly afterwards charlotte to pinsky updated us from the french capital earlier. Well we understand that its a 47 year old history teacher who has been decapitation in this particularly gruesome and brutal attack that took place in a northwest area just outside of paris and we understand that it was perpetrated by an 18 year old man to give you some background on this we understand that the teacher had been just a few weeks ago giving a class on freedom of expression and in that class had apparently shown the students caricature cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed now we understand that some of the parents were unhappy about that and they actually reported the teacher at the time we understand that on friday he was to capitated by this 18 year old and the attack took place just outside the school at around 5 pm local time here in france this is being treated as a possible terror attack and we understand that shouts of Allahu Akhbar would heard just before that attack was carried out the interior minister here in france has cut short a visit to morocco and is back in the country where he is heading up a crisis unit back in paris im being informed directly by the crisis unit that i have opened in conjunction with the president of the republic and the Prime Minister so we understand that the perpetrator of this attack then tweeted some of the most of gruesome images i have seen of late all of the decapitation of that 47 year old teacher in the tweet that was posted in this now apparently been removed from social media the 18 year old said that he did this in the name of allah and he said he executed the 47 year old history teacher because he had belittled the prophet mohammed relating back to those caricature as that perhaps had been shown. The class just a few weeks ago the image of the decapitation very gruesome the face mask that the teacher had been wearing soaked completely in blood now we understand that the teacher the police then turned up that the 18 year old alleged attacker at threatened them with a knife and they then shot him dead president mark or unhealed this is a long awaited speech thats been in the works for months about the problem with separatism here in france he said that he wanted to fight back against separatism in this d. V. D. Or ation away from the secular nature of france now this is because the french authorities had been fearing for a long time that children were learning arabic in a setting that was organized by religious associations and in mosques and that they were at risk of being indoctrinated by radical islamists as a result of that president mark on announce that they would be no more home schooling unless there were situations such as Health Concerns he announced that there would be closer scrutiny of religious associations and schools that served religious communities he talked about liberating france from a foreign influence and this all came around a time as well that we saw a poll of 3 quarters of respondents or who were muslims under the age of 25. 00 saying that they would put their faith ahead of the republic and many also saying that they are unhappy with the idea of magazine say like charley do we publishing the controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed which it did just a few weeks ago and to bring this into context again just 3 weeks ago we also saw another terror attack related to the images of the prophet mohammed here in paris when an 18 year old stabbed 2 people outside the former offices of Charlie Hebdo so very. Worrying developments that within less than a month they have been 2 incidents one including this deadly gruesome decapitation of a teacher on friday here in paris all over it seems the republic shing of a cartoons of the prophet mohammed we discussed the possible repercussions of the attack with a number of political commentators does deputy links to the trial of the people who could lie did in the murder of the journalist got us judie to do it and the casualty of do is so french theres a great tradition in for a lot of political. Cartoons and of course and offensiveness in a sense subtle and i think that is not something on which the french need to yield is something that is bringing them to unfortunately this continue to happen every month we have another gruesome story those who preach hatred those can be they can be sent back to Different Countries they can be put in jail i mean again we have laws to protect the french citizen from those things to happen and whatever if mcchrystal king about it now and again thats a good thing but if he doesnt have the courage to implement the rules and regulations then we will continue to see the situation i mean when we have someone you know does say that its ok to need to decapitate another person i mean theres no theres no room for for for discussion. Has decided to talk about it and thats a good thing however in terms of acts i think were far from what should be done in one of the major issues that you know that can describe the situation were in right now its message immigration and thats not uncontroversial to. Washington and moscow are at odds over the extension of a Major Nuclear arms control treaty after the u. S. Pushed back against Vladimir Putins proposal to continue it without preconditions for another year nikky aaron has more. Well as the clock ticks on the last remaining u. S. Russian arms control treaty the United States and russia remain locked in what seems to be a stalemate its one last go is suggesting an unconditional 5 year extension of the treaty that the u. S. Wants quite extensive changes which moscow has called it quite simply unrealistic now speaking earlier on friday the russian president made a strong call it to save the remaining pact when you used to listen i have a suggestion to prolong the existing treaty without any conditions for at least one year in order to have the opportunity to hold talks on all the matters regulated by such treaties and not to leave all the countries in the world interested in the preservation of strategic stability without such a fundamental document as district reduction treaty. But things between this is seem to have escalated quite quickly with the u. S. Even responding with threats if they say that conditions are not met. President putins response today to extend new stance without freezing Nuclear Warheads is a nonstarter the United States is serious about arms control that will keep the entire world safe we hope that russia will reevaluate its position before a costly arms race ensues now the issue is that washington wants a framework for a new trial lateral treaty that covers all Nuclear Warheads and includes those of china in the future and thats something which russia has objected to now the new strategic arms reduction treaty otherwise known as the new start treaty was signed in 2010 by the us president barack obama and russian president Dmitry Medvedev the pact limits each country to no more than 1550. 00 deployed Nuclear Warheads and 700. 00 deployed missiles and bombers and in visit is sweeping on site inspections to verify compliance too but the treaty is set to expire in feb 2021 so time is really of the essence here and the lack of an agreement and of course the tone of rhetoric between the 2 sides has raised concerns within the un it is imperative that the russian for the nation and United States of america extend with. The new start treaty for the duration of 5 years. For the sake of all of our security the world must return to a common past wars nuclear these are now as you may remember last year saw the breakdown of the 987 intermediate range Nuclear Force history says so the new stars is really the only Nuclear Arms Control pact between the 2 sides that remains so needless to say the stakes are high. In other news france spain and the u. K. Are setting new daily infection records exceeding those seen during the initial wave of the coronavirus however when it comes to tackling the Health Crisis it seems political unity is in short supply our europe correspondent peter all over reports. Cases of coronavirus skyrocket across europe e. U. Leaders are bringing back hard core restrictions and we have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be in force in the paris region and 8 other french officer just in the same situation over the pandemic is serious because we record rising infection numbers almost everywhere the reason is that fear is a 2nd Autumn Winter wave of the virus would be worse than the 1st appear to be coming true back in march france was unlocked with around 7 and a half 1000 daily cases the latest figures show that is now the same picture is repeated in spain and in the u. K. While all those countries were in lockdown in the spring now politicians are trying to strike a balance between safety and personal freedom for many the potential economic damage of another lockdown outweighs concerns over public health. Since the virus was 1st detected in europe Different Countries of opted. For different tactics the swedish government went for a hands off approach relying on people following precautions without them having to be made the rules that worked at least for a while but now restrictions are in place in sweden as well the disjointed approach among Member States has caused public frustration a poll of e. U. Citizens found that just over half of french people consultant thought there was unity in the block when it came to tackling coronavirus however 60 percent of italians and almost 3 quarters of those here in germany thought the approach lacked solidarity as i dont larry in security there are measures that confusing that if i have no idea where i can and cant go there should simplify their rules im worried about a 2nd log down especially the impact it will have on Restaurant Owners and the selfemployed its not clear if there is a right strategy but there must be a better way to explain this strategy where supposed to be a problem when we know the hotspots knowledge family gatherings politicians maybe care homes and Retirement Homes thats where they should focus this is just chaos it goes with the one thing that was agreed upon this week was a unified set of travel rules for the European Union we welcome the agreement reached today by the Member States on you why coordination of measures restricting Free Movement related to the krona virus pandemic it will have a single set of colors to categorize the different regions based on risk with a single set of rules to follow so citizens can see more clearly what the situation is the german chancellor says that means to be more cooperation across europe to help calm attain a virus that doesnt care whether its in brussels bruges or bremen. We have also experienced that European Corporation is not limitless. Resilient i tell you the south critically especially in the beginning of the pandemic inveterate specht we focus too much on the problems of our own country but this experience once again makes it clear that we need each other we need close European Corporation in order to must agree challenges which can only be achieved together with the citizens and not working above their heads so far that unified approach to tackling the cove it has been lacking from european leaders these are all of our aussie. We spoke to a swedish epidemiologist who believes trying to save both lives and economies has been made incredibly difficult by bad planning if you are to be released and then you are facing the outbreak would probably make the 1st thing you have to see is whether there are a few groups or where are those Group Interest so it does not help that they say well that was a cordon from law before it should have been taken into account in diplomacy of the strategy to face the pandemic and that was not the done so this is this year i do know. Over the past you do unless you do that. I dont see a purpose but your priorities are others you know where your priorities are not to save the life of the it will be with your priorities hard to say the economy so weve been thinking ok we have a nice economy doing this pandemic of the country with look down that we have there we suffered much more so were going to have a better position than they have been if you have those ideas you have those consideration of course youre going to sacrifice the top. But that is goes against the human rights. More of the latest news after the break. You know when the pandemic 1st hit back in february the question i posed to the global audience was will this be a crisis sufficient enough to overrun the ability of Central Banks to paper over the crisis because for the last 30 years every crisis weve had whether its a market crash or the 2000 subprime crash or a hurricane or even logical or depopulation or wars always been met with paper printing by the Central Banks as long as the Interest Rates keep going down theres no penalty for issuing all that paper as weve seen now for 40 years the Interest Rates have gone down so now here we are in the end of the year the question again is this takeover crisis big enough to not be able to be fixed by Central Bank Money printing. Welcome back to the program now with u. S. Election fever nearing its peak the mudslinging from both sides has gone up a gear both republicans believe theyre being specifically targeted by big tech thats after twitter and facebook censored an explosive article on the reportedly shady business dealings of joe biden and his son the social media giants claim they were merely trying to prevent misinformation heres arties caleb. The election is just 3 weeks out and the New York Post the daily conservative tabloid of new york city says it has a bombshell theyve allegedly got emails from joe biden and his family now the emails are said to have come from a laptop that was left behind at a Computer Repair shop in delaware there are some images of joe bidens son hunter smoking crack and an alleged sex tape the emails show hunter biden introducing his father joe biden and the Vice President to the board of barista a natural gas giant from ukraine that actually paid hunter biden 50000. 00 a month to sit on its board. I did home to thank you for inviting me to d. C. And giving an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together its really an honor and pleasure critics say this proves that joe biden when he was Vice President knew about his sons business deals in ukraine and helped them republicans see this is damaging the Biden Campaign team of course they didnt i everything so why has this story gotten so big well social media got involved when they will intentionally not link to the New York Post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebooks 3rd Party Fact Checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform on facebook you couldnt even share this story in a direct private message it was blacked out gone twitter even shut down the New York Post account and the account of the White House Press secretary when she tried to share a screenshot so many this looks a lot like tech giants meddling in american politics so how did twitter explain it. The paulson stablish in 2018 prevents to use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization well thats interesting because the recent story from the New York Times similarly unconfirmed about Donald Trumps tax returns which was based on personal data that was somehow collected which the New York Times never bothered to explain where they got it from that story its still up on both platforms so cue the republicans with biden today they take a negative post down omo just before they even go up there trying to protect him they tried to project by the tech monopolies that control American Media feared this story might hurt that candidate when they favor this is election interference in the attempt to rig an election which is what were seeing here by monopolies is unprecedented in American History now twitter says this is all just a big. Miscommunication well the damage has already been done the story of joe biden and his son and their business dealings is probably not going to have a big impact on the Election Results however the move by the tech giants to censure him after theyve already had a long history of anticonservative bias that very well could have. Been r. T. New york twitter since announced it will revise its hacked materials policy to label tweets instead of blocking them however the New York Post article remains blocked as it displays images containing private information Public Policy professor max abrams believes Silicon Valley has gone full political actor both twitter and facebook are very clearly in the biden camp and so this bombshell story by the New York Post is damaging to joe biden and so both twitter and facebook for political reasons are trying to restrict your viewership of this incriminating information of course the social media platforms cant come out and say theyre not explicitly they cant say that were in cahoots with you know the biden team and we didnt like it for political reasons it reasons instead they need to make up other reasons for restricting viewership what is cleaner is that this was a very pro biden move. Rebellion is brewing in the north of england after the government brought in regionally targeted covert restrictions but faced with growing opposition Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has pleaded with the mayor of Greater Manchester to engage constructively however he had threatened action if ignored. If agreement cant be reached i will need to intervene in order to protect men just as hospitals and save the lives of manchesters residents the Prime Ministers words came after manchesters mayor and Opposition Labor Party politician accused downing street of using the north as canaries in the coal mine east ali reports the mayor of manchester has been speaking today and hes been lashing out at the governments attempts to implement this socalled 3 year to system on certain parts of the u. K. Or at least putting certain parts of the country into those higher brackets and mr burnham saying that those parts of the country he suffered enough economically there are certain sectors of the economy that have suffered enough economically throughout this crisis and if the government is going to pull these measures out then they have to extend some type of Financial Support to those regions last night the deputy chief medical officer told great amongst the leaders to bring the infection rates down any regional lock down would require widespread closures way beyond pulps to stand any real chance of working and that would have to be done in tandem with all the neighboring regions and even then it would not be certain to work. But heres the point the government is not giving City Regional city regions like ours and the Liverpool City Region the necessary financial backing full full lock downs of that kind. That is why we have unanimously opposed the governments plans for tier 3 they off lord and. Now there are other leaders in the north east of the Country Council leaders who have also lashed out in places like sunderland and you cause that against these government measures here in the capital london we are expecting to go. Into the heart from saturday all the words on the streets of the city there are mixed feelings as to whether that is the right way forward i think its kind of been thrown a lot of people people were expecting it necessarily but it seems like its the logical next step that i should shut down rather than something that we just dont know when it might and just people being right about look at the damage that its been doing to the economy 2 tier 3 everyone suffering now weve reached a point where this doesnt seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel i take the view that the this the reaction to this disease is. Unfortunate and terrible it is being grossly exaggerated and we need to. Try and regain normal as you soon as possible again i feel whatever is going to be out of this spread is a good thing i think it probably needed to happen a while ago and maybe we would have had to do it a bit less dissin know it is gone forever and i know its in the Public Interest and we should be safe but. I dont know im really tired of my work and everything just being disrupted all the time you do what you have to do it. Were in this for the long term but its our roundup of the news for this hour make sure to check us out on your favorite social media platforms and at our ti dot com thanks for watching and we hope to see you again soon. He is actually a very Interesting Times because of the on them because it focuses in a way its the largest social experiment ever done. And not in. The last number so now you should Condition One is there people become more afflicted and say what kind of really. A dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. Dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them underage. Los Angeles Police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if youre going to exploit a child here in los angeles there are going to come as easy officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trade. I. This is boom bust the one business show you cant afford to miss friendship or in washington coming up the federal Communications Commission has moved to target social media giants following outrage over alleged censorship straight ahead well dig into what the moves mean for the new Public Square plus amid the pandemic sports are a needed distraction kovac has wreaked havoc on nearly every major league later im going to bring in a panel to analyze the financial state of the industry we have a packed show today so lets dive right in. And we leave the program with the latest in the world of social media in a week that has been nothing short of head spinning in the tech world we have new developments on friday as the federal Communications Commission is indicating that it may begin to regulate platforms over censorship on thursday f. C. C. Chairman i said that the agency will seek to regulate social media platforms like facebook and twitter at the behest of the trump and ministrations executive orders signed earlier this year so lets waste no time and get to the details of a boom bust cohost an investigative journalist ben swan now ben all of this ramped up this week when twitter and facebook censored and blocked a New York Post story regarding emails of former Vice President joe bidens son hunter biden what happened from the tech side and why has it created such a huge backlash yeah whats really interesting about this brand is that the backlash is bigger than the story itself quite possibly which is that you know because the post put out this article and by the way the New York Post you know the 3rd largest daily distribution of any paper in the country they put up this story they tweet it out and twitter responds by actually. Logging the New York Post account they banned other accounts that they blocked sharing of it through the direct u. R. L. And they even blocked the sharing of it through d. M. Whats interesting is twitter whos gotten a lot of attention here actually was the 2nd tech company to act the 1st tech company was facebook and facebook essentially said this is a story that should be looked at by our Fact Checkers but we even without Fact Checkers looking at it we can go into a whole debate about whether or not the Fact Checkers are legitimate and what theyre doing even without looking at it facebook said that it would actually slow down distribution of the story by putting a warning on it what does that mean moped when Mark Zuckerberg was testifying in front of Congress Last year about this he said at the time that to reduce distribution on a story by putting those warning labels on it reduces distribution by 98 percent thats what she testified so youre talking about knocking the story down to 2 percent distribution and so in this case it has what we would call the streisand effect which is that your response to try to keep people from seeing the story has actually made far more people see and Pay Attention to the story than they ever would of had you not gotten involved as much as the post has complained about that if you looked at any of their coverage in the last 24 to 48 hours its been all about how theyve been wrong so i think theyre doing pretty well over it as well now you mentioned that twitter says the report violated its policy on hack materials but friday the company stated that it will quote no longer remove hacked content unless it is directly shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them and will add contextual labels to tweets with links to such material instead of blocking them entirely now is that a step in the right direction or is that kind of go in the same line of with what facebook has done which is still really. Messing up the distribution of those content. Well i dont think it goes in the right direction but i dont understand it as a journalist i would say that its very disturbing when a tech company says that we will block we have a policy against hacked materials why do you the policy against that i mean glyn greenwald put out a great tweet about this in which he said under this this set of rules the pentagon papers would never have been able to be
